I just visited my friend Mec and saw this quote on her blog:

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh!t. (Author Unknown)

So true…
Men, think about this when contemplating your Valentine’s Day surprise.

Sisters! You’ve got to love them. They can get to you with just one word and it starts out really early!

The theme for this week’s blog hop is “TIME TO LAUGH”. Since our life revolves around our girls, I thought I’d share with you this story from my sister and her daughter’s latest ‘ISM’ as we call these zingers she comes up with.

One day, these two girls were arguing. They went back and forth for a few minutes trading reasons why their argument is the right one. Finally, when the younger one got tired of the silliness, she tells her older sister, “JOSIE, YOU PUT THE DING IN DING A LING!”

For parents of rising college students, this can be either funny or scary HAPPY MONDAY!

I live so far away from most of my Filipino friends so I don’t really have anyone to share my Filipino quirkiness with. Lately though, my daughters have been getting more interested in their heritage and are slowly delving into all things Pinoy.

Jade, for instance, has been into watching YouTube videos from other FilAms like Happy Slip and her comrades. I think Jade is finally picking up on some of the typically quirky Pinoy sense of humor. She is the one who shared this video with me on how to make Filipino Spaghetti. It’s not as much as the recipe that’s funny, (it’s actually pretty good - try it) it’s the delivery.

p.s. you gotta wonder…. it’s gotta be only in the Philippines that you can find a humongous bottle of banana sauce like that!
